Use this Bare Necessities banner below, then select Promotions from their left column. On the right half of the page you will find, until 2/3/10, their 25% off bras sale. Now use this Retail Me Not coupon code RETAILMENOT09, there are exclusions, which I can not find out, but as Aqua Marine, one of our readers here pointed out in the past, it is worth a try. A Retail Me Not discount code did work for her purchase of a large cup bra there!
You will find full figure bras at this sale by Glamorize, (up to size 56H!), Playtex, Vanity Fair, Olga and Bali bras, like their Seductive Curves Seamless Full Figure below. They are highly rated at Her Room, (currently 4 stars out of 44 reviews). They are the same price there too.
Currently they have 105 Bra styles at their 25% off Every Day Bras sale!

This Bare Necessities sale does end 2/3/10. I do not know when the price on the Bali bra pictured above goes back to normal at Her Room, but if you click on its picture, that is where you go, so you can check out the reviews and see if you think it would be good for you!

Watching eBay this week for urban wear at great prices. This body skimming Baby Phat neck sash dress, size 3X is just $25. That is a bid price, and the bid on this dress will end on 1/31, just use its link in the previous sentence to view the details. It is new with tags.
$25 is a great price for a machine washable, nice to wear to work, trendy, yet elegant dress!

Currently the same dress, available in sizes 1X to 3X, is available at Baby Phat, for $50.
You can see the savings could easily be great!

Which only goes to show;
It seems the best bet, price wise is to, watch an item you are interested in, and see if it goes on sale, or to bid. The bidding prices seem the best.
Sometimes, a sale price on an items may not even be over, when it is over. (?)

Fat-shionista is a blog that Sara V. Frenzy recently started. Looking at it, perhaps with the upcoming general romance Valentine ’s Day coming soon, put me in the mind of vintage clothing. Sara’s profile reveals she is into all vintage clothing and accessories, except vintage puppies. I just like the bit about puppies and had to add it here.

Her posts made me think of what stuck me as, useful today, yet vintage-like, to me, styles. Like these lace plus size cami bras. Vintage like to me, because they put a bit of lace at your neckline. Useful, as shown, looking, and feeling, pretty under your robe around the house. As well as low cut shirts, blouses and dresses.
Because it put me in the mind of long heavy silk gowns with lace necklines and matching bed jackets and long robes I had seen in antique and used clothing stores, in the late 70s.
These full figure bras come in sizes 36 to 54C to G, for just $20 to $28. They have adjustable rigid straps, and molded soft cups and come in 10 colors! Made even more affordable with One Stop Plus’ discounts! OneStopPlus.com - $20 off $50+, $25 off $75+, $30 off $100+ w/code OSPCOUPON2

I was just looking at this dress yesterday, available in size 1XL, at an eBay store I was checking out for urban wear. It was bids starting at $20.48 and Buy it Now for $60. Today these dresses, New With Tags, they have 3 at this writing, are on sale at $30 Buy it Now. This sale will last 3 days and size charts are available if you scroll down when you click on this Dereon Mini black sweater dress, size 1XL.

This dress would be a versatile addition to any woman’s wardrobe. It’s also a perfect example of what I love about urban fashion sometimes, a new twist on a classic!

I have been checking out full figure bras and shapewear, all New with Tags, at eBay stores too. I know that Bella Lingerie has a January sale, you can shop plus size and large cup size bras and swimwear there, by bra size.

Another store with great organization, making it a easy and fast place to search what you want quick! Both of the above mentioned eBay stores are highly rated sellers too!

This sale also features the Panache Harmony large cup bras in 6 color choices, in sizes 30 to 38K, and 40D to JJ, at just $30, as is the Panache Tango II bra I mentioned in yesterday’s post. That seems to be it for large cup size bras at this sale. They do have some other full figure bras!

They get great reviews at Her Room, but if you click on this bra’s picture below now you will find them at 45% off at Bare Necessities in sizes 34 to 40C to G and 42 – 44DD and DDD.

That’s right, Panache’s Tango II large cup bras are available in sizes 30 to 40D to K, 42D to J and 44DD and E at this sale price in white. Act while your size is still available!
Just click on its picture below to go straight to it, on sale, in all those size, at Bare Necessities.
I found these when looking at what’s new at Bare Necessities. Perhaps that is why all these sizes are available.

This is what I mean by Bare Necessities is a great place to find plus size and large cup size bras in discontinued colors at great prices. I just hope their putting the white on sale does not mean they are discontinuing this bra style, as these are my favorite every day bras.

Even if you have an inverted triangle shape, (little hip, no butt to speak of), like me, a plus size dresses, and skirts, that go in close to your knees accentuate your ultra feminine hips! However, if you do have an inverted triangle shape, you might want to stick with the Shape fx styles, like the Hold-You-In Pencil dress I showed on my post of 12/31/09, recommended by Myshape.com Who offer Styles that Fit and Flatter!Igigi, a very fit conscious designer, suggest this shape accentuating dress below for all shapes. Which also comes in black as well, in sizes 12 to 32.

These dresses are in new arrivals. I have been watching IGIGI New Arrivals for a few weeks and a funny thing is, they always first run low, then out of stock in their smallest, size 12 and their largest, size 30 /32. I guess their styles really fit the gamut of full figure sizes quite well! Both the Pacific Blue and Black version of this dress above are doing the same thing.

Anyway, the beauty of a simple dress, as sheath and pencil dresses tend to be, is you can often get way with using a simple dress for everything! It depends on how you accessorize them, or where them with a suit jacket, shawl, shrug and so on…

Jessica London has an array of sheath dresses in now. Even a color block and a print one. Just click on this nice simple easy to dress up, or make business like with a suit jacket dress below.
If you actually have hips to speak of, these Jessica London sheath dresses will show off your shapely curves well!

I have an Avenue skirt in every color I could get it in, because it, has pockets, (OK I love pockets), and goes in at the knees. The visual effect, even on my near hipless self is: Vavavoom shapely curves! I guess all you need is the distance around your knees to be smaller than you hips to get this effect!

Having dresses to turn to, be it for daily wear or special occasions, makes dressing a breeze! You have none of that, the best blouse for this skirt is at the cleaners going on when you have dresses to turn to! Put it on, accessorize, and go!

Especially nice are simple black, or any color, dresses that can be worn for events, parties or at the office. The mood is based on how you accessorize them.

I know, as I have relied on one favorite black knit that has grown, literally and figuratively, over the years. I think I started as a size L and I have worn it up to being a size 2 or 3XL. Apparently, you can do this with some knits, gradually, over the years! Now this dress has died. It developed a hole, yet it is at the waist line. Perhaps I will try a broad belted style after all!

So whether you have a sexy curvy shape with hips, or a none too curvy, inverted triangle, diamond or rectangle, no waist shape, as IGIGI puts it, if so go Shape fx.for all the fit that stretch fabrics can give you.

A sheath dress, will give you simplicity you can play around will for all dressing purposes and shapely hips.

Their clearance sale ends tomorrow, and they still have 40 styles in their DD+ , or large cup bras section. Figleaves clearance sale is down to 70% off and you will find lots of plus size bras and panties in Her Room’s clearance sale, which is up to 60% off.

They also have Olga bras that while apparently not in the clearance sale, are on sale anyway for $27, or less. They are all Olga’s Christina bras, which I guess is their plus size line. All that have ratings, 5 out of 6, are highly rated!

This Comfort sleek strap minimizer bra below, women who review it seem to love it! It comes in sizes 36 to 42C, D and DD, in white, nude and black, now just $27
Yet you will not find this in the clearance section, so it pays to shop around at these stores.

Speaking of sales, as I have been learing about eBay, I found out their stores will notify you, if you like, of items going on sale you looked into. The Rocawear snake print, one shoulder dress in my last post is now on sale, in a Buy it Now way, at $40 and it was $60 last week.
Apparently you can just wait for the price to go down sometimes!

Last month I started looking at eBay stores in earnest for brand new full figure bras, as well as women’s suits and Igigi fashions, which I like, but find pricey.
So far, for plus size and large cup bras I find Bella Lingerie to be the best!
And they are having a January Sale!
Why are they the best?

They carry bra makers I trust, Panache, Fantasie, Freya and more.

Their lingerie appears to be all New With Tags

Buy it Now seems to be an option, always.

You can shop their store by bra size, which is great because they have so much, it would take forever to go through all of their pages of lingerie.

The prices of course. I say of course…

but I have been looking for new plus size swimwear at eBay stores, but price wise what I find is on a par with AlwaysForMe.com Sales and Swimsuits for All. I do not know about you, but I do not really want to buy used clothes, and I am not interested in bidding, but you can if you like.

Currently Bella Lingerie has bras in sizes up to 30K, 32JJ, 34 and 36K, 38JJ, 40D to G, 42D to E and 44D

They invite you to type in the size you are looking for, or email them and they will find it for you. Service and Great Prices!

Here is an example today I found this 36J Fantasie Kara bra, new with tags. You can bid on it, or buy it now for $24.21 They have 9 bras in that size at the moment, not all the same either!

Another example: currently they have 21 bras in size 40D, like this Coral Panache Harmony bra for $13!
All brand new with tags! Check it out!

This Gap link also appears to include Old Navy and Banana Republic, who also has sizes up to 18.

Bra Sizing Information

Not all bra cup sizes are the same, as an example: Starting at cup size DD, Chantelle bras are sized differently than Fantasie, Freya and Panache bras.

Thinking about trying a brand you have not tried before?

Check out Bigger Bras Bra Size Comparison Charts to see how a Fantasie bra cup compares to a Panache and a Chantelle and the like!

Bigger Bras has two different bra size measuring methods you can try too.

Not sure what your bra cup size is and the info that you have found at intimates stores is not getting the fit you want?

Here is how I finally figured out a way, that worked for me at least to My Own Cup Size Finding Solution. This method finally go a fit that allowed my underwires to lie flat against my breast bone. Worked for me. Might work for you too!

To make that more affordable, and because I missed a few colors already I am going to be using this link below to check for them often on eBay stores. You can use it too!New Elomi Caitlyn underwire bras

I think the side support is what really does it. What it does is make me feel like a teenager again. I am an over 50 year old woman who wears a size 34HH, or J!

This bra gives excellent lift and front projection, with a natural shape! That makes the most of my waist, which is not an easy thing to do.
